Catalog Item #200. Copies made from the originals by Gerry Walters, Photographer, Rhodes University Library, Grahamstown, Cape 1972. For my Bleek-Lloyd and Bright-Scott-Roos Family, Past & Present & /A!kunta, //Kabbo, ≠Kasin, Dia!kwain, /Han≠kass’o and the other Informants who gave Voice and Identity to their /Xam Kin, making possible the remarkable Bleek-Lloyd Family Legacy of Bushman Research About the Author Patricia (Trish) Scott Deetz, a great-granddaughter of Wilhelm and Jemima Bleek, was born at La Rochelle, Newlands on February 27, 1942. Trish has some treasured memories of Dorothea (Doris) Bleek, her great-aunt. “Aunt D’s” study was always open for Trish to come in and play quietly while Aunt D was focused on her Bushman research. The portraits and photographs of //Kabbo, /Han≠kass’o, Dia!kwain and other Bushman informants, the images of rock paintings and the South African Archaeological Society ‘s logo were as familiar to her as the family portraits. Trish Deetz moved to Williamsburg from Charlottesville, Virginia in 2001 following the death of her husband James Fanto Deetz. They lived in Charlottesville from 1993-2000 where Jim was the Harrison Professor of Historical Archaeology at the University of Virginia. Trish worked with Jim as a researcher in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Virginia. After some years researching the official court records of Plymouth Colony (1620-1691) she and Jim co-taught five seminars on the historical ethnography of Plymouth Colony. With the help of their enthusiastic students Jim and Trish were able to write a realistic and factual account of the Plymouth Colony based on contemporary archaeology, cultural research and living history. The Times of Their Lives: Life, Love and Death in Plymouth Colony was published in November 2000 (New York: W.H. Freeman) xvi, 366p. Trish still works with Professor Chris Fennell, anthropologist and lawyer, hosting a web site that Chris created in 1998 after taking the Deetz Plymouth seminar at UVA. The Plymouth Colony Archive Project at the University of Virginia can be accessed at http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/users/deetz/Plymouth Preparing this catalog of the Bleek-Lloyd Collection in the Scott Family Archive has been a challenge. In addition to publishing Cataloguing Monographs (Rhodes University Library, 1976) and a number of bibliographies on Black authors in the 1970s, and one on Bessie Head, co-authored with Susan Gardner (NELM, 1986), Trish co-authored African Languages: a genetic and decimalized classification for bibliographic and general reference with linguist Derek Fivaz (Boston, Mass., G.K. Hall, 1977). In so doing she continued, as the great granddaughter of Wilhelm Heinrich Immanuel Bleek and great niece of Dorothea Bleek, a third generation of family involvement in the classification of African languages.

December 15, 1998 ABSTRACT In the past posthumous reproduction has been primarily a result of accident or fate. More recently, the ability to freeze sperm and embryos (and the potential for use of stored ova) has lead to greater control over procreation and its timing in relation to the lives of ,. parents. The technology associated with posthumous reproduction is now commonplace, but the application of these techniques represents a subtle shift offocus from the technical aspects to the arguably insidious acceptance of this development. This thesis critically. reflects on both the ethical and legal considerations of posthumous use of sperm and particular implications

  • CHAPTER 1 GEORGE WILLIAM STOW, PIONEER and PRECURSOR of ROCK ART CONSERVATION Today George William Stow Is Remembered Chiefly As
    CHAPTER 1 GEORGE WILLIAM STOW, PIONEER AND PRECURSOR OF ROCK ART CONSERVATION One thing is certain, if I am spared I shall use every effort to secure all the paintings in the state that I possibly can, that some record may be kept (imperfect as it must necessarily be .... ). I have never lost an opportunity during that time of rescuing from total obliteration the memory of their wonderful artistic labours, at the same time buoying myself up with the hope that by so doing a foundation might be laid to a work that might ultimately prove to be of considerable importance and value to the student of the earlier races of mankind. George William Stow to Lucy Lloyd, 4 June 1877 Today George William Stow is remembered chiefly as the discoverer of the rich coal deposits that were to lead to the establishment of the flourishing town of Vereeniging in the Vaal area (Mendelsohn 1991:11; 54-55). This achievement has never been questioned. However, his considerable contribution as ethnographer, recorder of rock art and as the precursor of rock art conservation in South Africa, has never been sufficiently acknowledged. In the chapter that follows these achievements are discussed against the backdrop of his geological activities in the Vereeniging area and elsewhere. Inevitably, this chapter also includes a critical assessment of the accusations of fraud levelled against him in recent years. Stow was a gifted historian and ethnographer and during his geological explorations he developed an abiding interest in the history of the indigenous peoples of South 13 Africa and their rich rock art legacy.

  • An Overview Translation History South Africa 1652
    An Overview of Translation History in South Africa 1652–1860 By Birgitt Olsen A research report submitted to the Faculty of the Arts, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts: Translation Adelaide, South Australia, 2008 i Abstract This research report comprises an outline of South African translation history in the years 1652 – 1860. The report is divided into three chapters, covering scriptural and secular translation history across two time periods, namely 1652-1750 (scriptural and secular), 1750-1860 (scriptural) and 1750-1860 (secular). A catalogue of translations done in these time periods is also included. The research methodology is based on hermeneutical principles, and therefore seeks to interpret and represent historical material in a way that makes it relevant for contemporary circumstances, always focusing on the individuals involved in events as well as taking into account the subjectivity of the researcher. In conclusion, but also as a part of the overall rationale for performing the research, the report discusses the immediate importance to modern society of understanding the historical linguistic dynamics between cultures, as represented in translation activity. ii Declaration I declare that this research report is my own unaided work. It is submitted for the degree of Master of Arts: Translation, in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.
